Hi everyone here we have a question asking if methylene glycol is more soluble in water in Orem benzine, What are the inter molecular forces between the more soluble solvent and methylene glycol? So methylene glycol is polar do two. It's two hydroxyl groups, making it more soluble in water than benzene. It is also more soluble in water than bending because of inter molecular forces dispersion, di paul di pole and hydrogen bonding with the O. H. Group. So these are our answers. Thank you for watching. Bye!
